kernel: nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash

mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28-rc3, when strict overcommit is enabled, does not properly handle the export of shmemfs objects by knfsd, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and knfsd crash or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown...

CUPS: texttops unchecked memory allocation failure leading to NULL pointer dereference

The WriteProlog function in texttops.c in texttops in the Text Filter subsystem in CUPS before 1.4.4 does not check the return values of certain calloc calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference or heap memory corruption or possibly execute arbitrar...

xpdf/poppler: ImageStream:: ImageStream integer overflow

Integer overflow in the ImageStream::ImageStream function in Stream.cc in Xpdf before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in GPdf, kdegraphics KPDF, and CUPS pdftops, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash via a crafted PDF document that triggers a NULL...

kernel: uninit op in SOCKOPS_WRAP() leads to privesc

The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in protoops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on...

openssl: DTLS out-of-sequence message handling NULL deref DoS

The dtls1retrievebufferedfragment function in ssl/d1both.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.0 Beta 2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash via an out-of-sequence DTLS handshake message, related to a "fragment bug."...

openssl: mime_hdr_cmp NULL dereference crash

The mimehdrcmp function in crypto/asn1/asnmime.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8t and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and application crash via a crafted S/MIME message...

kernel: personality: fix PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID

The personality subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc3 has a PERCLEARONSETID setting that does not clear the ADDRCOMPATLAYOUT and MMAPPAGEZERO flags when executing a setuid or setgid program, which makes it easier for local users to leverage the details of memory usage to 1 conduct NULL...
